    (Translated by Google) Basilica of Santa Maria delle Carceri Considered a true masterpiece of Renaissance architecture, the Basilica of Santa Maria delle Caro built where the public prisons of Prato previously stood.

    A beautiful peaceful church with a wonderful background. My son was baptised here so I make sure to visit a few times a year. Parking can be a little difficult but after church the beautiful square and surrounding shops make for a good afternoon on a shopping spree.

    (Translated by Google) In front of the unmistakable and unique castle of the Emperor is one of the characteristic lawn churches. In the shape of a Greek Cross, it was erected on the ancient prisons of the meadow, where, according to tradition, numerous apparitions of the Madonna took place; hence the name Santa Maria delle Carceri. The church is very beautiful and large. I recommend to enter and look carefully at the dome from the inside, very beautiful. (Original) Dinnanzi all’inconfondibile e unico castello dell’Imperatore si trova una delle chiese caratteristiche di prato. A forma di Croce Greca, è stata eretta sulle antiche carceri di prato, dove, secondo la tradizione, avvennero numerose apparizioni della madonna; da qui il nome Santa Maria delle Carceri. La chiesa è molto bella e ampia. Consiglio di entrare e guardare attentamente la cupola dalla parte interna, vernante bellissimo.
